Three Bridge Fiasco - The Finish

At the Finish, I had about 18 to 20 knots of wind after the Bay Bridge - unfortunately changing head sail with hanks is a very slow proposition so I decided to suck it up. Also unfortunately I had to short tack my way up the city front to not be killed by current (and initially right after the Bay Bridge I was in positive current for a while Vs not as bad). Tacking a large jib single handed is tough...

Elise was parked next to this giant - for a short while I looked at her and she felt tiny and old...but that lasted about one second...
